WOW! It has been a long time since I've blogged here. We are half way through 2009! I have not written in my book at all (ugh, not proud of that) but I have had several personal journal entries, and I've been doing various articles for our church newsletter, and am currently working on a church manual. The things that really define who I am inside I guess I should say, I have not given much diligence to so far this year, and I am on a mission to change that. Something has to change and I know it starts with me making different choices. Life has a way of just forcing you into float mode,especially when you are in the midst of hard trials. (You know, the "well I seem to be making it okay" mode}Playing it safe and not living too far above mediocrity. I hate that place. And it's no body's fault but mine I've got to push harder for the things I really want, and it will take some sacrafices. I've done some things this year that I'm proud of, but none of them were on my personal aspirations list. (I never wrote that out, but I knew what they were and are) I will be 35 years old this year and there is some things that I need to start working more diligently towards. I do not want to look up at 40 years old, and hate my self because I have not been working towards, or have obtained what I think I should have obtained by that age, and trust they are not based on what people think I should have obtained. I said at the end of last year that my front lets would be Joshua 1:8 God's recipe for success. I will start practicing that on a daily basis. Because I don't care how people view you and your success. Real success is obtained through God and by him. Promotions, wealth, wisdom, and all good things come from above. "And God told me that he would not hold any good thing away from me!" It's almost June first...Let's finish this year strong!
